- This book was developed from ethnographic research undertaken by Harper in Nepal between 1998- 2010, the latter of which was part of the ESRC grant “Tracing Pharmaceuticals in South Asia” (2006-2009). Hence, the theoretical thrust and broader understanding that informs the book resulted from accumulated research and data collection over an extended period of time. Drawing on multiple forms of data collection during this period the book argues that we need to understand medical pluralism in light of the widespread distribution of pharmaceuticals.

- Parts of chapter five were originally published as a book chapter in the edited book ‘From Western Medicine to Global Medicine: The Hospital Beyond the West’ (submitted to REF2014). Chapter seven was initially published as a journal article in Studies in Nepali History and Society (submitted to REF2014), which is not available online. Part of chapter eight appeared as a book chapter in the edited book ‘Resistance and the State: Nepalese Experiences’. For the monograph, these previously published works have been rewritten substantially, including different ethnography.
